Are you one of those people who’d rather look at pictures of yummy food than those of humans dressed like a million bucks on Instagram? Someone who spends work breaks and lazy mornings looking at one beautiful food photo after another? If your answer is yes, you’re in for a treat! And just in case it was a ‘no’, don’t worry, you’re still in for one.
Chefs across the country are taking the ‘people-eat-with-their-eyes-first’ notion from dinner tables to social media. Apart from serving tempting recipes at their restaurants, they’re also showcasing their love affair with food through carefully captured pictures – from how they prepare your favourite recipes to culinary discoveries and more. Here are 10 Indian chefs from across India to follow on Instagram.
